Nothing DRESSER.

Patent Leather Shoes are more in vogue
than for seventeen years. Shoe journals say
1870 was patent leather year.
Patent leather is strictly a fashionable
leather One reason why it has not fallen into
common use as a staple. is that it is not over
durable Moisture hurts it. For this and
other reasons only persons with dry feet should
wear it. With this exception, and particularly
in dry climate like ours, there is no reason
why it should not last as long as any leather.
For ladies' carriage, reception and general
dress wear, nothing is more elegant Our lat
est arrivals in this line are two styles at 81 and
81 So The first has patent leather 'front.'
or " vamp, as the trade calls it, the heel and

has the whole lower part of patent leather, with

them about the case or recognize that they
had anything to do with it. Their theory
was that he was insane and they acted
upon it in making the defense. The jury
evidently believed that he was sham

by the reflection that if he was crazy it
would not be a serious mistake to lock him
up where he would not do harm, for they
returned a verdict of guilty.

Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.

The announcement made that a novel
based on the woman suffrage question
was being written by Miss Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps has apparently no founda-
ton whatever. In q letter from Miss
Phelps lying before me she writes:
''There is not one syllable of truth in
the statement. / am not writing a
woman suffrage novel, have not written
O woman suffrage novel, and never in
tend to write a woman suffrage novel.
II have had a very i'll winter, and have
now completely lost the use of my eyes,
which makes it difficult, if not impossible,
for me to answer all the letters from
strangers that come to me.
'1t would be a courtesy to me if the
fact might be made known that my illness
makes it impossible for me to attend to
the numerous letters which l constantly
receive from unknown friends and readers
of my books. This might prevent some
wounded feeling on the part of strangers
who may misunderstood my silence.

Bronze for Outdoor Statuary.

Bronze will eventually be the material
adopted for all statuary intended to be ex-
posed to the weather in this climate, says
Building. Stone will not stand the sum-
mer's heat and winters storms and cold.
Another factor to be taken into consideration
is what insurance men call the "moral haz-
ard" Marble, especially, is easily defaced
and stained, and the vandal spirit that de-
lights in malicious mischief has left its mark
on many a piece of sculpture in public places.
A notable instance is that of Houdons famed
statue of Washington, which not only shows
injury from exposure to the weather. but a
human ally of the destructive elements has
forwarded the work of demolition by black
ing the eyes of the statue SO effectively that a
congressional committee has been instructed
to inquire us to the doubtful possibility Of
having it restored.

The Life Time of an Iron Bridge.

The life time of an iron bridge is from
20 to Is years, and constant care is necessary
to insure its safety The Ashtabula bridge
was Is years old, and at the time it fell be-
meath the weight of two engines and heavy
express train, the theory was commonly adj
vanced that Capitalization had impaired its
original strength. The two great moving
causes of crystallization are vibration and the
hammer blows Of the locomotive which grad
ually. by repeated impact, turn the fiber of
iron or steel iato mass of crystals, needing
only sen1c unusual pressure or blow to causs
them to break apart. Add to this the oscilla-
ton caused by the passage Of trains at high
rate of speed, and it will be seen that al iron
bridge is exposed to peculiar perils, which can
only be guarded against by rigid inspection
and constant renewals.

THE BLIND MANS WATCH.

The annular plates are united by four radial
ribs, formed with upwardly curved bridge
pieces to span the slots, SO as not to interfere
with the movement of the hands, Upon the
outer surfaces of the plates are ribs, SO that,
in all, there are twelve ribs arranged at equal
distances apart and marking the hours and
five minute divisions The face of the watch
is closed by cover. which is a small crystal,
through which the dial may be observed. To
ascertain the time by the sense of feeling, the
fingers are moved around the slots to find the
knobs, when their location with reference to
each other and to the XII side of the dial will
